[1.7.10]Adjusting the speed a fluid pushes a player

[theOriginalByte]

I have another question... how do i adjust the speed my custom fluid pushes players? I know using the 'setViscosity()' method doesn't do anything...

[theOriginalByte]

seriously... no one knows?

onEntityCollidedWithBlock passes an Entity argument

onEntityCollidedWithBlock passes an Entity argument

I don't understand how to use that...

[Eternaldoom]

Get the blocks metadata (or whatever data from the fluid), and adjust the players motion depending on that.

[fr0st]

Multiply entity.motionX, entity.motionY, entity.motionZ by whatever you want.

Multiply entity.motionX, entity.motionY, entity.motionZ by whatever you want.

I did this:

public void onEntityCollidedWithBlock(Entity entity)
    {
            entity.motionX = entity.motionX*2;
            entity.motionY = entity.motionY*2;
            entity.motionZ = entity.motionZ*2;
    }

but it doesn't change anything... the ide says the method is never used

I think your way is the way to go.... but how would i do that...

[Eternaldoom]

Use @Override to check if you are actually overriding a method. You have to use that method's parameters. Look at the onEntityCollidedWithBlock method in Block or BlockCactus.

[fr0st]

You aren't overriding it correctly, that method doesn't only pass an Entity parameter.

If you are using eclipse, use the Ctrl + Space shortcut to automatically have the method overridden, and then of course use the parameters you are given

I figured it out... thanks guys! I have another question that i don't want to open another thread for.... how do i apply a texture to my liquid... here is the code for it:

@Override
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister register) {
        this.flowingIcon = register.registerIcon(Reference.MODID + ":" + getUnlocalizedName().substring(5) + "_flow");
        this.stillIcon = register.registerIcon(Reference.MODID + ":" + getUnlocalizedName().substring(5) + "_still");

    }
    @Override
    public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta) {
        return (side == 0 || side == 1)? stillIcon : flowingIcon;
    }

I'm using a recolored vanilla texture... should it be a different size or am i not registering/using the icon code right?

I got this:

and this in the main:

 

@SubscribeEvent
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void textureHook(TextureStitchEvent.Post event) {
	if (event.map.getTextureType() == 0) {
		CMStuff.darkwater_fluid.setIcons(CMStuff.darkwater.getIcon(0, 0), CMStuff.darkwater.getIcon(1, 0));

	}
}

 

Ii dont know if its necessary, because i didnt checked afterwards, but i think it was for the bc tanks

I did that but i still get the ugly pink and black tiles.... what size is your texture? 16x16 or a different size?

[Dragonisser]

Its 32x1024 Look at water_flowing and water_still ^^
